Every day or everyday, ? Traveling or travelling ? Travelled or traveled ? Some time or sometimes, ? Any time or anything ? Every time or everytime ? Traveller or traveler ? Too much BS. I prefer a Bantu language right now
WTF !!!! can there be only one form of English ? Can the Americans and the British agree ? |

We need to stick to one or the other in Nigeria. It gets confusing because we all choose one or the other. |

My journey within some west African state indicate Hausa can work as our lingual franca in our region .... Yoruba also show some progress too but not as Hausa. Igbo did not do better that much apart from Nigeria. In Nigeria here, we should adopt pidgin or peherps we can have three multiple official language which we be basically Yoruba, Hausa and igbo at least to suppress this eurocentric social order. It seems our government simply pretend Nigeria pidgin doesn’t exist and English is the only official language in the country. I am always disappointed seeing Nigeria lawmaker deliberating on Nigeria most important issue in a colonial language. A Chinese man once said that if you want to colonize a man forever , teach him your language. 1 Like |
